Shilling

Feeling pressured? Try on the razor-sharp ice skates being worn this week by John Paul Shilling -- "J.P." to his family, friends, his family's neighbors in Phoenix, and classmates in Dulaney High's Class of 1990.This weekend could be the stuff of dreams for Shilling and two other Marylanders contending for berths on the American men's and women's teams in short-track speed skating that will compete in the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, next month.The others, who like Shilling represent the Maryland Speedskating Association, are Chris Callis, 18, of Sudlersville in Queen Anne's County, and Alice Choi, 15, of Ellicott City.

It was hard to keep this scandal going until the Olympics, but now they can take a two-week break and then come back with fresh material.F8Here's hoping our bombs are smarter than last time.Tony Blair is a Clinton look-alike who is going over better than the real thing.The Asian crisis is not bad for all Americans.

James and Stacie Boyle razed their one-story bungalow last year with plans to build a waterfront home twice the size.The Long Point couple got a county permit and built a three-story, three-bedroom home with cathedral ceilings and views of Hunters Harbor.But their next-door neighbor Calvin F. Shilling Sr. has challenged their dream home before the county Board of Appeals, contending that the home at 1673 Grandview Road in Long Point, Pasadena, is too large for the lot and that the septic system is in the wrong location.

The salary earned by the school superintendent has often been a rallying cry for Carroll County's fiscal conservatives, but not a peep was heard from them at yesterday's school board meeting.The board unanimously approved a 3 percent raise for Superintendent Brian Lockard, bringing his salary to $119,480. Other school employees also got 3 percent raises this year.The only person who spoke before the Board of Education urged members to approve a raise."That's an investment our children can reap for the rest of their lives," said Linda Murphy, a Sykes ville parent who is active in the Carroll County Council of PTAs.

The Board of Education may decide Wednesday whether to lengthen the school day for the rest of this year to make up for time lost to snow and ice in this harsher-than-usual winter.Superintendent R. Edward Shilling said yesterday that he might recommend the move, depending on what information his staff collects on its impact on students, school employees, bus drivers and finances.Mr. Shilling said he would need the board's approval by Wednesday to put the plan in effect. He also would need approval from state Superintendent Nancy S. Grasmick.

The Carroll County School Board tossed Justice and Independence aside when they named the proposed new middle school on Oklahoma Road.But no one will be confused. The new name: Oklahoma Road Middle School. Which is what everyone has been calling it anyway."Kind of tricky, a little creative," said Superintendent R. Edward Shilling about the name after he recommended board approval Wednesday."I am recommending what the majority of the [building] committee is recommending," he told the board.

Public schools in Carroll County will close two hours early today because of the expected high temperatures, Superintendent R. Edward Shilling said yesterday.There will be no afternoon kindergarten.About half of Carroll school buildings have some air conditioning, but all schools will close early.School officials have said that closing only unair-conditioned schools would create too many complications with bus schedules.Mr. Shilling said the general rule is to cancel evening extra-curricular events when schools close early, but that each principal will have some discretion.

R. Edward Shilling is known for a bold style, and his time as superintendent has been fraught with controversy.The past two years have brought one controversy after another, but the superintendent said he never had a year that didn't.He said recent years have not been more difficult than the first -- the controversies just change."I think the [superintendent's position] is stressful and controversial most of the time," Mr. Shilling said.Among the controversies he has faced:* He has decried a national conservative movement that he said has a political agenda and steadfastly supported that movement's main target: outcomes-based education.

Spending more time and effort on the small percentage of troublemakers in Carroll County schools would benefit everyone, said a businessman who served on the 25-member school Discipline Study Committee that unveiled its lengthy report yesterday."

With a background in urban search and rescue, Jenny Shilling figured she was a logical choice to take part in the county Department of Fire and Rescue Services' recent mission to aid the people of hurricane-ravaged Louisiana. Members of the unit - known as USAR - are trained in finding and extricating disaster victims. After making the 26-hour trip to rural Alexandria, Shilling and the other four members of the second relief unit sent in September by the Department of Fire and Rescue Services immediately worked an 18-hour shift.

Here is the first thing I see the other night when I turn on the TV: Jamie Lee Curtis rubbing her belly and shilling for Activia yogurt. "First the bad news," the commercial begins, "87 percent of this country suffers from digestive issues like occasional irregularity." Eighty-seven percent! No wonder the economy's in the tank and we're getting nowhere in Iraq. People are miserable! All they can think about is finding a bathroom. To emphasize the horror of this national calamity - only 13 percent of Americans are unburdened by digestive issues!

When Elizabeth Shilling's aging mother moved in with her five years ago, she wanted to make sure the elderly woman, who was contending with a battery of medical conditions, was getting the best health care possible. But her mother's doctor, Shilling said, was unwilling to coordinate the numerous medications and specialized care that 90-year-old Alice Beer Engeman required. She and her mother were in an all-too-common position, according to a national study by the Rand Corp., which found that patients received proper medical care for a variety of ailments only 55 percent of the time.
